We are living the unexpected life...our daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia two weeks ago. Your beautiful podcast this week was just what I needed. Thank you for sharing your faith and your knowledge.
I so appreciated this speaker’s willingness to share his personal experiences with his father and forgiveness along with these beautiful scriptures. It was so inspiring and helpful.
I love the story of Joseph but I love it more now thanks to those additional information & insights shared by Dr. Wilcox, which brought more context to the stories of Abraham's family all the way down to Ephraim; forgiveness is indeed a gift not only to the reciever but also to the giver, and trusting in the Lord is the key that opens the beauty of this gift. Thanks for another beautiful episode of your podcast Hank & John!
‘Come near into me.’ I wept hearing this and now know how to initiate or invite those I forgive. Again, what a spiritual uplift you’ve given me. Thank you!
What fantastic insights. I learned so much and have so much to ponder. I've loved Brother Wilcox since watching his talk "When My Prayers Feel Unanswered." His depth of knowledge and applications open up so much possibility.
I have never realised how significant the Book of Genesis is to family relationships and this theme is continually repeated by each guest so far. Studying and understanding Genesis can help our families to heal like Dr Wilcox says. Thank you
OMGosh! Thank you so very much Dr. Wilcox for sharing your personal story. It’s been years since I heard you tell that story. I say heard cause I use to buy books on CD (prior to audible and podcasts) when I was a new member (20 yrs ago this May) I listened and read so much of Dr Wilcox, John Bytheway and Brad Wilcox that I had a hard time keeping straight who said what and in what talk/book. But when I first heard that story & needing a shelf open in our hearts for a prayer to go stayed with me. I have shared that story countless times. I do apologize for not giving the credit to you. I would always say “I heard someone say one time but I can’t remember who…” Now I can give you credit. Btw…I love this podcast. It is helping so much.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Dr. Wilcox. Thank you host for inviting him. His research and knowledge is impeccable. Can you tell how much I love to hear him teach. ❤ God continue to bless all of you!
I recently read a Chesterton book, Eugenics and Other Evils, some of the points he made in it were so pertinent to today that I had to look up when it was written.
Great podcast! Oh, but it is true! The Lord uses our motivations and desires to bring about His will. I do believe Joseph was full of wisdom and understanding when he told his brothers that it was the Lord that brought him to Egypt. He knew the Lord was in control of his life because he lived worthily to be lead by the Lord. The Lord's ways are higher than our ways.
I love that Genesis shares Joseph’s personal revelations through dreams, Dreams he may or may not have understood until they unfolded in front of him. It feels to me in Joseph’s life that the Lord, who sees his challenges coming is preparing him, not setting him up to be sold into slavery-but loving him in a very fatherly way.
Thank you for this great podcast! Would it be possible to have Terryl Givens as a guest on one of these episodes? He is a great scholar with wonderful insights.
We don’t hear enough from you two in your podcasts. I value both of your views. Yet you both sit almost silently whilst we listen to guests, some of whom hardly pause for breath. Sorry to be unkind - this may be a British thing but we prefer brevity and modesty😉😇!!
I'd never heard that Rachel might have been 10-11 yrs old when she first met Jacob. He mentioned it very briefly in passing. What's the basis for that?
I somewhat disagree with doctor Whitlock’s interpretation that the Lord will “remember our sins no more”. I wish I could remember which Apostle it was whose interpretation makes more sense to me. I will likely not do his explanation justice here. But in summary, it the Lord means “in meting put justice He will not attribute forgiven sins to us in the accountability ‘column’. To uee an accounting analogy. Further, as it relates to our forgiving and forgetting others’ offenses against us, it is a necessary part of our growth and progression, to rember events and occurrences as it helps us to avoid similar encounters in the future, either with that person or another. We should nevertheless, be willing and ready to forgive, but it does no mean we must submit to future abuse.
He worked 7 years for Rachel but received Leah instead. When he realizes he's been tricked he asks for Rachel and Laban said after a week he could marry Rachel, but would still have to work an additional 7 years for her. (Genesis 29:27-29)
Genesis 29 says after a week Jacob married Rachel and then worked another seven years. 26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn. 27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid. 30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Leah and Rachel married Jacob 7 days apart. See Genesis 29:27-28. He worked 7 years, married Leah, waited a week to marry Rachel, and then owed Laban another 7 years of work.
Beautiful! Joseph is a great example of a “ Celestial forgiveness “

Wow! This is intense! Such direct to life insights! And to think this is prophetic for what God will do in times to come!

Thank you, so very much for teaching us....and for bringing us along in making these stories LIVE within the Old Testament.🥰
I especially love the insight of thinking of the impact of our decisions even on those not yet born. Thank you!

Powerful story about his father! 59 minutes on.

Excellent!

I love a quote from my bishop, “you can look back but don’t stare!”
So Love This, Thank You so much!
Great efforts. God bless you all
Thanks for these videos!

Young Joseph wasn’t making any friends, and I’ve often thought neither was Nephi at times.
We don’t hear enough from you two in your podcasts. I value both of your views. Yet you both sit almost silently whilst we listen to guests, some of whom hardly pause for breath. Sorry to be unkind - this may be a British thing but we prefer brevity and modesty😉😇!!
I was thinking the same thing. I'd love to hear more of a back and forth than a presentation fully by a guest.
I'd never heard that Rachel might have been 10-11 yrs old when she first met Jacob. He mentioned it very briefly in passing. What's the basis for that?

Sorry Dr. Wilcox
Dr Wilcox said Rachel married Jacob 7 days after Leah. Did he misspeak? Isn’t it 7 years or did I miss something?
He worked 7 years for Rachel but received Leah instead. When he realizes he's been tricked he asks for Rachel and Laban said after a week he could marry Rachel, but would still have to work an additional 7 years for her. (Genesis 29:27-29)
Genesis 29 says after a week Jacob married Rachel and then worked another seven years.
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Leah and Rachel married Jacob 7 days apart. See Genesis 29:27-28. He worked 7 years, married Leah, waited a week to marry Rachel, and then owed Laban another 7 years of work.
Starts with quoting Chesterton? Yeah this is gonna be good
Beautiful! Joseph is a great example of a “ Celestial forgiveness “
